Craig 0 Posted March 9, 2011 running modernlines 9x16 all round on mine! you wont have as much a problem with a 16v as its not as wide track as the vr up front, i have some minor scrub but its running low on 205/40 tyres. need to get my arches rolled as its pretty bad if i have passengers in the back, look in my thread for pics mate :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted March 9, 2011 Cheers bud what et are the modernlines love those wheels ill have a look when i can get to my comp im on the iphone at the mo Not sure what tires size i have but theres a bit of stretch but not daft stretch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted March 9, 2011 Ohh by the way i dont do passengers they are forbidden haha and im running quite low myself Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swiftkid 1 Posted March 9, 2011 I ran et15 215/40 on the rear of my old 16v no problem without arch mods but it did scrub, seen people running et15 on the front but obviously if you want to go lower you will need arch rolling/pulling. Off the top of my head G60greeny ran 9s et15 all round on his old g60 but don't know if he had his arches rolled. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 0 Posted March 9, 2011 mine are et 15 also! few pics in my thread running low and wide and quite a bit of camber, some people hate and says it ruins the handling, i say i love it and dont notice a difference in the handling, sure you probably would on the track but with the state of the roads these days the difference is n/a imo :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swiftkid 1 Posted March 10, 2011 I have heard a few people talk about wide wheels, aka banded steels http://www.bandedsteels.com/Prices.html Philuk used them, £100 for 4 arches rolled, or if you feel like having a go yourself borrow an arch roller. I'll be getting my arches rolled fairly soon so give me a shout if you decide to use them, they do discounts for more than 1 car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swiftkid 1 Posted March 10, 2011 I know of someone with an arch roller but I was tempted to make one myself, just need to sort out a set of wheels first. I bought a set, fitted them, loved how they sat, didn't like the wheels :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sexybourbon 0 Posted March 10, 2011 Also had a search on google and came up with some blue prints for a roller all dimensions and the likes of so going to print it out and give it to a guy who owns a steel fab company who i do work for on his sons race bike so maybe he will do us a fave and knock one up for us to use Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
